Federation has acquired a majority stake in the British independent film and TV production company Vertigo Films.<\/p>\n
Specializing in film and high-end drama production for the global market, Vertigo\u2019s credits include the hit TV shows Britannia<\/em> and Bulletproof<\/em>, box office number ones StreedDance<\/em> 3D<\/em> and The Sweeney<\/em> and award-winning films such as Monsters<\/em> and Bronson<\/em>.<\/p>\n Vertigo Film\u2019s executive producers and co-founders, James Richardson and Allan Niblo, and Jane Moore, CEO of Vertigo, said: \u201cVertigo Films has been a reliable name in film for 20 years producing quality and commercially successful films, and we are thrilled with the company\u2019s success in the last few years through the expansion of our television division. Bringing the boldest ideas from extraordinary talents to life is in our DNA and to now have such a prolific partner in Federation is an opportunity to expand and drive our ambitious slate at full speed.<\/p>\n \u201cProducing film and TV for the global market is at the heart of all that we do, and as we searched for an international sales partner, we wanted to find a company that shared our independent, rebellious, and ambitious spirit\u2014and finding that in Pascal Breton, Lionel Uzan and our friends at Federation is gold dust. Their unwavering support has been a dream come true, and we\u2019re excited to enter this new era together, launching these new plans for our future in the year of Vertigo\u2019s 20th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n Pascal Breton, president of Federation, said: \u201cVertigo is one of the first and only British production companies to have brilliantly succeeded in reinventing itself to adapt to the highly competitive theatrical market, and then to drama series with strong international potential. Along with Lionel Uzan, we have been talking to James and Allan for many years, which is why we are very happy to finally welcome them into the large family of Federation producers.<\/p>\n \u201cVertigo\u2019s expertise in pre-financing and international distribution, paired with that of Federation in London, Los Angeles and Paris, should enable both Federation and Vertigo to jointly offer even more ambitious series and films to the British and global market and international platforms and these productions will be better funded by attracting top creators, producers and independent projects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Federation has acquired a majority stake in the British independent film and TV production company Vertigo Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":12112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2981,2982],"class_list":["post-12111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-federation","tag-vertigo-films"],"yoast_head":"\n
